Björnskfestivalen
In 2018, Opsomer was selected as one of two 'International Wildcards' to compete in the sixteenth edition of Björnskfestivalen, and selected the song "Ta plus belle insomnie". This later won the selection with 251 points, being the first act to do so under the revised national selection format.

Maia Song Contest
Following her Björnskfestivalen win, "Ta plus belle insomnie" will subsequently represent Björnska in Maia Song Contest 23. Prior to the contest, she promoted the entry on The Kim Chi Show and gay clubs such as La Bitch Party, hosted in Cité de Noufrançais. She received praise from the Acting First Minister of Noufrançais, Jean-Pierre Carle, who called the entry "patriotic and fun". Opsomer competed in the second half of the first semi-final, following Daléríqa and preceding Kaohportia. She qualified, and went on to become the runner-up in the grand final of the contest. This gave the country their best result in twenty editions.
